But you got into university of washington! congrats on that one! i'm expecting another rejection from them as well (sigh) ...

Congrats!! I wasn't really counting on getting in..but it would have been nice if they sent some news to those who got rejected as well. Mind sharing your stats, and could you tell us your area of focus?

Applied to M.A. programs (China) at Berkeley, Washington University in St. Louis and Michigan. Have a B.A. in English and International Commerce from a Korean University (terrible ugpa 3.5/4.3 scale. didn't bother studying much back then. ) Studied one year of Chinese Area Studies at a graduate school in Korea (no degree though) ( a tad bit better ggpa 3.6 /4.3 scale. have a "C" which I wrote an addendum for.. i had my reasons so hope that helps..) GRE verbal scores: v. 660, q. 790, w. 4.0 // v. 670, q. 660, w. 4.5 (but most international students have high GRE scores, right? so...don't know if my scores are competitive enough) writing sample: real bummer - I hope the committee members be generous (?) and assess my potential through my Personal Statement and SOP (which i know is most unlikely the case since the schools i've applied to are all very competitive). i can always try again next year ........... Letter of Recommendations - only one from the China Studies field chinese language scores: i sent copies of my most recent HSK scores to all three universities. most schools have already told me that they don't receive them..but...since my transcripts indicate that i have never taken any formal chinese language training , i'm just praying they might consider at least taking a look at my scores i've been brutally true ... any others willing to share their stats?

Well...looks like someone got into Berkeley's M.A. program with partial funding (results search)... If that person's any one of you guys please let us know if there was any word in your e-mail if the admissions are all out or not? Prepared for rejection (bummer writing sample and not-so-great GPA), but at the same time, really curious of the outcome ~~ ~~

Anyone hear anything from Berkeley? Know that Harvard EALC Ph.D results are out. Having a hard time sleeping these days.. Going crazy...have lost my sanity..

I was and still am.. Am constantly checking my mail box and e-mail account... Practically going nuts.. But am not really counting on getting in though.. Still..it would be nice to hear at least "something" from them

Hi all! Just joined today! I've applied to UC Berkeley, UW-Seattle and Michigan, Ann Arbor Only 3 schools ... Can't seem to find many faculty who have the same research interests as mine Planning to re-apply if I don't get into any program Best of luck to everyone!
